発明の分野
本発明は、耐融解性(melt resistant properties)を有するマシュマロ菓子に関する。
発明の背景
マシュマロは、シロップ混合物中に、空気の軽い、ふんわりとした白いエマルションを製造するために室温以上の温度でシロップをホイップすることにより製造される周知の菓子である。バッチ方法では、砂糖、グルコース、水及び他の成分、例えば、スターチ、塩及びフレーバー剤を加熱してシロップを形成させ、これにゼラチン溶液を加える。次いで、この混合物をオープンビーター内に入れるか、そうでない場合には攪拌して、均一に空気を含ませた塊(mass)を製造し、これをスターチ型中にキャストまたは射出する。
米国特許第2,847,311号(Doumakら)は、泡立てた均一な塊をスターチでコーティングしたコンベヤベルト上に押し出してマシュマロを製造する連続方法について開示している。マシュマロの押し出しストランドをシリンダー状に切断し、追加のスターチをマシュマロの切断片に加える。
典型的なマシュマロ製品は、標準のベーキング条件、即ち350°Fで20分などの高温下では、その本体(identity)及びテキスチャーを維持することが不可能なので、高温方法(例えば、ベーキング)では使用され得ない。熱に暴露されると、マシュマロの気泡は膨張し、ゼラチンは不安定となって、気泡が破壊し、マシュマロは、ベーカリー生地中に溶解するシロップ状の液体状態に変化してしまうのである。この特性により、マシュマロ成分を識別するマシュマロ製品の性質が失われてしまうため、マシュマロをベーキング成分として使用することが限定されていた。
1993FMC成分パンフレットは、ベーカリー安定性マシュマロ(BSM)を開示している。しかしながら、BSMは、大きな気泡を有しており、弾力性テキスチャーが不足し、そして非常に緻密である。
従って、二次的な機能性、即ち、通常のマシュマロの外観とテキスチャーを有し、ベーキング時に耐融解性を示すマシュマロ菓子を提供することが望まれている。
発明の概要
本発明は、通常のマシュマロの外観とテキスチャーをもつ融解性が制限されたマシュマロ製品に関する。本発明によるマシュマロ菓子は、コーンシロップ、砂糖、デキストロース、水、スターチ、ゼラチン、微晶質セルロース及び燐酸塩を含む。マシュマロ菓子製品は、マシュマロ菓子の耐融解性を提供するために、スターチと微晶質セルロースとの予定された割合を有する。
『融解性が制限されたマシュマロ(melt restricted marshmallow)』という用語は、通常のマシュマロの外観とテキスチャーを有し、尚100°F〜375°Fの温度で5〜45分間耐融解性を示す、空気を含ませた菓子組成物を意味するものとする。
発明の詳細な説明
本発明のマシュマロ菓子製品中で用いるコーンシロップは、約75〜約85%固体で、約55〜約70のDEを有し、マシュマロ菓子製品中に約50%〜約76%のレベルで存在する。砂糖は、約15%〜約30%のレベルで存在する。デキストロースは、約4%〜約15%のレベルで存在する。添加する水は、約3%〜約11%のレベルで存在する。添加する水と成分により提供される水の両方を含む全体としての水は、約10%〜約30%のレベルである。ゼラチンは、約1.0%〜約3.5%のレベルで存在する。
スターチは、冷水膨潤性の粒状スターチである。この種のスターチは公知であり、市販されている。このようなスターチの一種は、商品名「MIRA−GEL(登録商標)463」(A.E.Staley Manufacturing Co.)として市販されている。この種のスターチは、室温で水と水和し、最初に粘稠で滑らかなコンシステンシーを形成し、次いで弾力性のコロイド状ゲル構造に固まる。スターチは約1.5%〜約5%のレベルで存在する。スターチは、コーンスターチが好ましい。
FMCコーポレーションの2種類の特に好ましい微晶質セルロース製品が、商品名「AVICEL(登録商標)RC−591」及び「AVICEL(登録商標)CL−611」として公知である。RC−591は、0.1%未満が60ーメッシュふるいに保持されるような粒径の白い水分散性のパウダーであり、89部の微晶質セルロースと11部のナトリウムカルボキシメチルセルロースによって製造されることが公知である。CL−611は、85部の微晶質セルロースと15部のナトリウムカルボキシメチルセルロースから製造される。微晶質セルロースは、約0.5%〜約2.0%のレベルで存在する。
燐酸塩は、約0.05%〜約0.15%のレベルで含まれる。燐酸塩は、プロセスチーズの製造で通常使用される乳化塩であってもよい。これらの例としては、ピロ燐酸四ナトリウム、ヘキサメタ燐酸ナトリウム及び燐酸三ナトリウムが挙げられる。本明細書中で用いるパーセントは全て、他に示さない限り、マシュマロ製品の重量をベースとする重量パーセントである。燐酸塩はピロ燐酸四ナトリウムが好ましい。着色剤及びフレーバー剤も少量含み得る。
融解性が制限されたマシュマロの密度は、エチレングリコールを使用して22℃で液体置換により測定した。本発明のマシュマロの密度は、1.0g/cc未満である。マシュマロの密度は、0.50g/cc未満であるのが好ましい。融解性が制限されたマシュマロは、2mm/秒で3mm直径のブラントプローブで深さ6mmまで測定した時に100g−力のテキスチャー未満を有する。マシュマロは、好ましくは72g−力未満のテキスチャーを有する。テキスチャーは、TA−TX2テキスチャーアナライザー及びインストロンユニバーサルテキスチャー装置などの食品業界で通常使用される任意の堅さ測定装置により測定され得る。
本発明の重要な特徴は、スターチと微晶質セルロースの特定の割合が提供される点にある。特に論理的な根拠はないが、ホイップしたマシュマロ菓子を提供するためにシロップをホイップする間に、ホイップした気泡の回りのゼラチンゲルが気泡を安定化させるのだと考えられている。スターチと微晶質セルロースが、短時間のうちに強い、弾力性のゲルに固化し、より安定な気泡を作り出す。ホイップ菓子を加熱すると、ゼラチンが180°F付近で変性して、生地中に融解するが、スターチと微晶質セルロースは、熱の暴露された時にも流れるのに耐えて、形及び堅さを維持する。スターチと微晶質セルロースの割合は、約1.5:1.0〜約3.5:1.0の範囲であるのが好ましい。
融解性が制限されたマシュマロ菓子を製造するために本発明の方法では、微晶質セルロース、スターチ及び1/4の砂糖をドライブレンドする。1/3のコーンシロップ、残りの砂糖、水及びデキストロース全部をドライブレンドしながらジャケット付きケトル中に導入する。混合物を1〜4時間調理し、約220°F〜約280°Fの温度にする。残りのコーンシロップを添加し、混合物を約150°F〜約180°Fの温度に冷却する。次いでゼラチン溶液を任意のフレーバー剤、燐酸塩及び着色剤と一緒に混合物に添加する。混合物を約140°F〜約170°Fの温度に冷却する。
連続自動ビーター−ミキサーを介して混合物を移すことにより混合物に気泡を含ませ、この混合物をさらにスクレープド表面熱交換器を介して混合物を移すことにより、約100°F〜約110°Fの温度に冷却した。押出前に、密度を約350〜約400グラム/1200mlのレベルに標準化する。次いでマシュマロ菓子製品をスターチをまぶしたベルト上に複数のシリンダー状のストランドに押し出す。マシュマロ製品を適当なサイズに切断し、シリンダー状マシュマロを提供する。しかしながら、マシュマロ製品は、消費者の仕様に併せて形成または切断し得る。マシュマロは、タンブラー中で過剰の振りかけ用スターチを振りかける。
以下の実施例は、本発明の種々の特徴を示すものであるが、付記請求項に示されるように本発明の範囲を限定するものではない。

Field of the invention The present invention relates to marshmallow confectionery having melt resistant properties.
Background of the invention Marshmallow is a well-known confectionery made by whipping syrup in a syrup mixture at a temperature above room temperature to produce a light, fluffy white emulsion. In the batch method, sugar, glucose, water and other ingredients such as starch, salt and flavoring are heated to form a syrup, to which a gelatin solution is added. The mixture is then placed in an open beater or otherwise stirred to produce a uniformly aired mass that is cast or injected into a starch mold.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,847,311 (Doumak et al.) Discloses a continuous process for producing marshmallows by extruding a foamed uniform mass onto a conveyor belt coated with starch. Cut the extruded marshmallow strand into a cylinder and add additional starch to the marshmallow cut pieces.
Typical marshmallow products are used in high temperature methods (eg baking) because they cannot maintain their identity and texture under standard baking conditions, ie at high temperatures such as 20 minutes at 350 ° F. Can't be done. When exposed to heat, the marshmallow bubbles expand, the gelatin becomes unstable, the bubbles break, and the marshmallow changes to a syrupy liquid state that dissolves in the bakery dough. Because of this characteristic, the properties of marshmallow products that identify marshmallow ingredients are lost, limiting the use of marshmallows as baking ingredients.
The 1993 FMC component brochure discloses bakery stable marshmallows (BSM). However, BSM has large bubbles, lacks elastic texture, and is very dense.
Accordingly, it is desirable to provide marshmallow confectionery that has secondary functionality, i.e., the appearance and texture of normal marshmallows, and exhibits resistance to melting when baked.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to marshmallow products with limited meltability having the appearance and texture of normal marshmallows. The marshmallow confectionery according to the present invention comprises corn syrup, sugar, dextrose, water, starch, gelatin, microcrystalline cellulose and phosphate. Marshmallow confectionery products have a predetermined ratio of starch and microcrystalline cellulose to provide the melt resistance of marshmallow confectionery.
The term “melt restricted marshmallow” has the appearance and texture of a normal marshmallow and still exhibits melting resistance at temperatures between 100 ° F. and 375 ° F. for 5 to 45 minutes. It shall mean a confectionery composition containing air.
Detailed description of the invention The corn syrup used in the marshmallow confectionery product of the present invention is about 75 to about 85% solids, has a DE of about 55 to about 70, and about 50% in the marshmallow confectionery product. Present at a level of ~ 76%. Sugar is present at a level of about 15% to about 30%. Dextrose is present at a level of about 4% to about 15%. The added water is present at a level of about 3% to about 11%. The total water, including both the water added and the water provided by the ingredients, is at a level of about 10% to about 30%. Gelatin is present at a level of about 1.0% to about 3.5%.
The starch is a cold water swellable granular starch. This type of starch is known and commercially available. One type of such starch is commercially available under the trade name “MIRA-GEL (registered trademark) 463” (AEStaley Manufacturing Co.). This type of starch hydrates with water at room temperature, first forms a viscous and smooth consistency, and then hardens into an elastic colloidal gel structure. Starch is present at a level of about 1.5% to about 5%. The starch is preferably corn starch.
Two particularly preferred microcrystalline cellulose products from FMC Corporation are known under the trade names “AVICEL® RC-591” and “AVICEL® CL-611”. RC-591 is a white water-dispersible powder with a particle size such that less than 0.1% is retained on a 60-mesh sieve and is made with 89 parts microcrystalline cellulose and 11 parts sodium carboxymethylcellulose. It is known. CL-611 is made from 85 parts microcrystalline cellulose and 15 parts sodium carboxymethylcellulose. Microcrystalline cellulose is present at a level of about 0.5% to about 2.0%.
Phosphate is included at a level of about 0.05% to about 0.15%. The phosphate may be an emulsified salt commonly used in the manufacture of processed cheese. Examples of these include tetrasodium pyrophosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate and trisodium phosphate. All percentages used herein are weight percentages based on the weight of the marshmallow product, unless otherwise indicated. The phosphate is preferably tetrasodium pyrophosphate. Coloring and flavoring agents can also be included in small amounts.
The density of marshmallows with limited meltability was measured by liquid displacement at 22 ° C. using ethylene glycol. The density of the marshmallow of the present invention is less than 1.0 g / cc. The marshmallow density is preferably less than 0.50 g / cc. Marshmallows with limited meltability have less than 100 g-force texture when measured to a depth of 6 mm with a 3 mm diameter blunt probe at 2 mm / sec. The marshmallow preferably has a texture of less than 72 g-force. The texture can be measured by any firmness measuring device commonly used in the food industry, such as the TA-TX2 texture analyzer and Instron universal texture device.
An important feature of the present invention is that a certain proportion of starch and microcrystalline cellulose is provided. Although there is no particular rationale, it is believed that the gelatin gel around the whipped bubbles stabilizes the bubbles while whipping the syrup to provide whipped marshmallow confectionery. Starch and microcrystalline cellulose solidify into a strong, elastic gel in a short time, creating more stable bubbles. When the whipped confectionery is heated, the gelatin is denatured around 180 ° F. and melts into the dough, but the starch and microcrystalline cellulose resist the flow even when exposed to heat, and have a shape and firmness. maintain. The ratio of starch to microcrystalline cellulose is preferably in the range of about 1.5: 1.0 to about 3.5: 1.0.
In order to produce a marshmallow confectionery with limited meltability, the process of the present invention dry blends microcrystalline cellulose, starch and 1/4 sugar. One-third of the corn syrup, the remaining sugar, water and dextrose are all introduced into the jacketed kettle while dry blending. The mixture is cooked for 1-4 hours and brought to a temperature of about 220 ° F to about 280 ° F. The remaining corn syrup is added and the mixture is cooled to a temperature of about 150 ° F to about 180 ° F. The gelatin solution is then added to the mixture along with any flavoring agents, phosphates and colorants. Cool the mixture to a temperature of about 140 ° F to about 170 ° F.
Continuous automatic beater-bubbles are introduced into the mixture by transferring the mixture through a mixer and the mixture is further transferred to a temperature of about 100 ° F. to about 110 ° F. by transferring the mixture through a scraped surface heat exchanger. Cooled down. Prior to extrusion, the density is standardized to a level of about 350 to about 400 grams / 1200 ml. The marshmallow confectionery product is then extruded into a plurality of cylindrical strands on a belt coated with starch. The marshmallow product is cut to an appropriate size to provide a cylindrical marshmallow. However, marshmallow products can be formed or cut to consumer specifications. Marshmallow sprinkles excess sprinkling starch in a tumbler.
The following examples illustrate various features of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
Example 1
The following formulation was used to produce a marshmallow product with a melt resistant, normal marshmallow appearance and texture.
Microcrystalline cellulose, starch and 1/4 sugar were dry blended in a ribbon blender. The dry blend, water and 1/3 corn syrup were introduced into the jacketed kettle. The remaining sugar and dextrose were added to the kettle. The mixture was cooked for about 2 hours and brought to a temperature of 252 ° F. The remaining corn syrup was added and the mixture was cooled to a temperature of 160 ° F. Gelatin solution, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, colorant and flavoring agent were added. The mixture was then cooled to a temperature of 155 ° F. The mixture was aired in a continuous beater-mixer and further cooled to a temperature of 110 ° F. in a scraped surface heat exchanger. The density of the whipped mixture was 387 grams / 1200 ml. The mixture was extruded onto a continuous belt coated with starch and cut into 0.3 inch diameter and 0.5 inch high cylinders. The cylinder was dusted with excess starch in a tumbler, resulting in a marshmallow product with 86.96% aerated marshmallow mixture and 13.33% externally added starch.
When the marshmallow product produced by the above formulation and method is introduced into various bakery dough and baked at various temperatures for an appropriate time (see table), the marshmallow product maintains its shape and is ready for baking applications. It was also recognized as a marshmallow product.
Example 2
The following bakery-stable marshmallow (BSM) formulations are those described in the 1993 FMC brochure.
The BSM product produced by the batch method had very large bubbles, low elastic texture, a beige color with a slight greyish taste and very dense. This product was used under cupcake baking conditions, ie 350 ° F. for 20 minutes. The BSM product sank to the bottom of the batter and exhibited a glowing, firm, elastic texture.
Example 3
The meltability limited marshmallow (MRM) of the present invention was measured in terms of density and texture for two bakery stable marshmallow (SBM) formulations. Density (D) was measured by liquid displacement at 22 ° C. using ethylene glycol. Table 2 shows the results as measured in grams / cc.
The texture was measured with a TA-TX2 texture analyzer (Texture Technologies.). A 3 mm diameter blunt probe was attached to the analyzer. Probes were driven into individual samples at a depth of 6 mm at 2 mm / sec. Peak force (g-force) was measured on 10 separate samples of each of the three formulations. Table 3 shows the average peak force (m), standard deviation (s) and relative standard deviation (% RSD).
